Fathering, Masculinity and the Embodiment of Care, 1st ed. 2015 Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Family and Intimate Life Series

Many fathers are now providing hands-on, engaged care to babies and young children. This book draws on observations of, and interviews with, caregiving fathers, as well as analyses of fathers' memoirs and online blogs, to examine fathers' caregiving work as embodied practice and as lived experience.
